Love it or hate it, you'll probably find yourself, at some point in life, nodding along to a Biggie mash-up. Producers just can't help themselves—Biggie had one of those buttery deliveries that seems to melt into whatever beat you put him over, and the fact that he died too young creates a shortage of material that makes DJs and beatmakers eager to create something "new" out of something old. Take The Notorious B.I.G. out of his original context and sometimes it feels downright disrespectful. Every now and then though, you end up with something awesome. Here are 10 Biggie mash-ups that don't suck.
